Summary: Harvard, MBA-educated biotech executive John Henry “Jack”
Armstrong (Anthony Mackie) gets fired when he informs on his bosses
and initiates an investigation into their business dealings by the
Securities & Exchange Commission. Branded a whistle-blower and
therefore unemployable, Jack desperately needs to make a living. When
his former girlfriend Fatima (Kerry Washington), a high powered businesswoman
and now a lesbian, offers him cash to impregnate her and her new girlfriend
Alex (Dania Ramirez), Jack is persuaded by the chance to make “easy”
money. Word spreads and soon Jack is in the baby-making business at
$10,000 a tryst. Lesbians with a desire for motherhood and the cash
to spare are lining up to seek his services. But, between the attempts
by his former employers to frame him for securities fraud and his
dubious fathering activities, Jack finds his life, all at once, becoming
very complicated.

• DVD Release Date: February 1, 2005 • Summary: With
SCHOOL DAZE, writer-director Spike Lee examines the tensions, biases,
and frustrations of middle-class black youth at a southern college
campus. Lee combines musical and fantasy sequences with satirical
scenes to tell this pointed story of two cousins who attend the same
all-black university. Dap Dunlap (Laurence Fishburne) is the solemn
and dedicated activist, while Half-Pint (Lee), his younger cousin,
spends most of his time rushing the school's most popular fraternity
while desperately trying to find romance. As the film follows the
two young men attempting to achieve their disparate goals, it also
examines intraracial conflict in a school divided into warring camps:
the light-skinned Wannabees and the dark-skinned Jigaboos. Lee, using
the college environment as a microcosm in which to further explore
black intraracial conflicts--for example, the way different camps
wear their hair--doesn’t forget that he’s an entertainer
first and foremost. SCHOOL DAZE, taking its cue from ANIMAL HOUSE,
pokes fun at fraternities and sororities, including a hysterical extended
sequence on the rigors of hazing. Featuring a pulsating soundtrack
and an appearance by go-go legends EU, Lee’s return to school
is at once revealing and raucous. • DVD Features:
